LUCIFER
SAM
Syd
Barrett:
'Lucifer Sam' was another of those quite obscure pieces. It did'nt mean
much to me at the time, but after three or four months, it began to assume
a precise meaning. Comment:
Like the song 'Chapter 24', the writing
of this song was influenced by the
I Ching. Comment:
This song was originally titled "Percy The Ratcather." Comment:
The "left side/right side" line refers to the division between
the logical and creative functions of the respective hemispheres of the
brain.
